When I first put together this easy roasted vegetable side dish, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. I want to make it all the time now. It requires almost no prep and roasts in the oven with little fuss while you can focus on preparing your main course.
I love using frozen vegetables and I hate chopping fresh vegetables. There, I said it. While there are many applications where using fresh vegetables will yield a tastier dish, this is not one of those times. You'll never know the frozen peas, carrots, and cauliflower rice in this easy low carb side dish weren't prepared fresh.
I especially love how well the textures of the three vegetables work together here - there's no crunchy bites mixed with mushy bites. Everything is uniform with a nice chew. Such an easy way to get your veggies in for the day!

Notes
Sometimes, I will only use a mixture of salt, pepper, and some Italian seasoning.
I will also use this roasted vegetable blend, which is my current favorite.
You can use a mixture of dried herbs (rosemary, oregano, thyme, etc) or your favorite spice blends like Mrs. Dash, Emeril, etc.
